Hatton-Pacquiao PPV sales disappoint...under 650K US buys.

I'll wait for a credible source.

650K isn't bad...no link though *tsk tsk*

Still...that amounts to what? 32 mil in revenue? Not bad I'd say for two non-Americans.

I'm impressed. Floyd Mayweather can only dream of the media coverage that Manny Pac has endured. His fight with Marquez will determine if the public cared/cares about 'Money' May.

All I know is, I have no problem with Mayweather taking a 50/50 against Pacquaio. If Arum thinks Mayweather will have to take 35%, then I really don't care if Mayweather walks away from that one

He'd have a good reason to.

No way mayweather deserves less than 50 percent. If there is a 50-50 fight in boxing, it is this fight.

I don't know about the accuracy of what Dios Dominicano is saying but I know that Pacman is a **** draw and the reason is the 50 filipinos get in one house and pay for one pay per view and then broadcast it to another house with 100 filipinos for free. Pacman didn't even do 120 k with Diaz. He did like 200 or 300k with Marques, and like 350 k with Morales and Barrera I believe. I don;t even know if he did like 20 k with Solis. He did ok with Oscar, but even Mayorga does great with him and let's face it Hatton is beer drinking white boy with a massive following from Britain. Floyd may not get people to attend his fights out but he's a pay per view figure, check out the stats for TATA and ZAB, and even Gatti.

Floyd would most likely take a 50/50 split.

We'll have to wait and see the numbers when they are made official backed up with a link.

Then like I said, compare all PPV numbers between the two and Floyd's upcoming fight with JMM.

Floyd could easily argue that he is worth more because he is the best dance partner in the game and he makes a PPV drive upwards compared to the rest.

I hope your right, **** I won't be surprised if Mayweather is looking for more then 50%

[Maestro USA]

The fans have spoken.

They are not interested in seeing two leftovers fight on PPV.

They know Marquez beat Pacquiao. - Check the polls!

They know Mayweather destroyed Hatton!

[el malo]

That figure is from insider reports. Notice there is no announcement from HBO yet. The figures are in, and Arum has requested that the numbers not be published. Domestic US PPV buys are under 650K. Disappointing.

not a disappointment to me. Not surprising at all. Boxing doesnt sell like it use to. There's competition now, ever heard of ufc or mma? Im forced to see ufc almost everyday when i surf the channels and pass ****e tv. Eventually people are gona stop, watch and catch on.

[FLY TY]

hbo was expecting 500-700 K for this fight, so 650 K seems about right......

pbf probably deserves a bigger split than pacman....

[Porter's Dad]

Watch the ****s revel in one of the biggest fights our sport has to offer not doing great numbers (if this is true) just to push their own agenda. Or shall we say, the agenda of their favourite fighter.

Shameful.
